Lyric

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

harutaka

大丈夫、強がってみせた

日々の隙間に隠した涙と

殺してきた、自我と夢と希望

与えられた命はこんなものか

綺麗事にはもううんざりだ

貴方は貴方で私は私だ

忘れられない日々はまだあるか?

それさえなければどれほど楽だろうな

ここじゃない何処かの街で生きられたら

貴方のようにずっとずっと人を照らせますか

人並みに生きて死ねたらいいだけ

その願いすらも届かずに消えてくだけ

終わりかけた六畳一間

飛び込む光は明日への希望か

作りかけた生きた証はどれも

長い夜の中で燻ってるのか

思い耽る夜はまだあるか?

あるはずだと、そう思いたいだけ

後退りは助走距離のために

呼吸整え、飛び出そう世界へ

まだ見えぬ道の先があるのならば

曲がり道も上がりも下りも

地図にない果てさえも

迷いながらでも歩いていけるはず

その願いは夜明けを迎え光になれる

誰かやるはず

僕じゃなくても大丈夫

背けてきた現実

怖いな

ここじゃない何処かの街で生きられたら

貴方のようにずっとずっと人を照らせますか

人並みに生きて死ねたらいいだけ

不安も痛みも超えてきた

まだ見えぬ道の先があるのならば

曲がり道も上がりも下りも

地図にない果てさえも

迷いながらでも歩いていけるはず

その願いは夜明けを迎え光になれる

    The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    harutaka

This work depicts a sense of strangeness toward "I am only a part of someone" and the strength to survive as a person.
The title "The whole is not the sum of parts" is a phrase by the philosopher Aristotle, which means "the way of life and the mind of man cannot be explained by a mere collection of elements."

Escape from reality and hope are mixed by expressing regret for the feelings and dreams that have been suppressed and suppressed in daily life and wishing for "somewhere not here." "The retreat is for the running distance," I affirm that you have not been in vain. "Someone will do it," "It doesn't have to be me" is a moment when you face your helplessness, and through it, you show a small and certain intention to regenerate "walk even if you're hesitating."

In the acoustic-based sound image, "lonely," "conflict," and "hope" slowly melt together.
It is a story of a mind that accepts itself as a "part" while asking about the meaning of life as a "whole."
